Structure for Mauritian IBAN

Mauritian IBANs consist of the country code (MU, 2 characters), check digits (2 digits), bank code (6 characters), branch code (2 digits), account number (15 digits), and national code (3 characters).

The Mauritian IBAN consists of 30 characters. The bank code (6 characters) identifies the bank, followed by a 2-digit branch code. The account number (15 digits) contains the details of the customer account. The IBAN ends with a 3-character national code, in this case "MUR" for Mauritian Rupee. Mauritius is not part of the SEPA zone, so international transfers may take longer to process and incur higher fees than transfers within SEPA.
